****************** WHEN THE WORD WAS THUNDERBIRD ****************
written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.
Verse 1:
Am
Up every morning at the crack of dawn
G
Nights as short as the days are long
D Em
Life turned out to be another magazine
Am
Livin' with a stranger now
G
Girl i knew got away somehow
D Em
She went out with two bit gasoline
On the go,back - you know what i mean
Chorus:
Am
Now when the word was Thunderbird
G
And the price recorded twice
D Em
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Verse 2:
Am
Ah,but love turned out to be a passin' thing
G
Different bird of a different wing
D Em
Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine
On a jug of Thunderbird wine
Am
And Lord i don't know if i'm gonna make it
G
Don't know if i'll have the strength to take it
D Em
Everything's hung up in yesterday
Verse 3:
Am
There's you a secret-minded social girl
G
Takin' short cuts in a woman's world
D Em
She won't let her hair down when i'm home
Am
Society's just slavery
G
And security is killing me
D Em
I work hard for it but i give it all away
If i could go back to yesterday
Chorus (x2).
